    Author : Kimmo Kumpula; [2020]
    Keywords : DNA metabarcoding; biodiversity assessment; environmental DNA; high-throughput sequencing; subarctic;

    Abstract : Analysis of soil-derived DNA has been shown to minimize problems seen during traditional vegetation surveys, e.g. by matching the eDNA to a reference database for taxonomic identification rather than relying solely on taxonomic expertise.
